How we handle bath resealing in Godstow
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s silicone smeared on tiles and unsealed corners, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Godstow and across Oxfordshire.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What we are called out for in Godstow
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
Look out for these signs:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Unsealed corners
Before booking anyone

Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Godstow. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- Everything repaired in place

Take a look at our prices page.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What affects the price in Godstow
There is no charge for travel to Godstow. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Questions from Godstow
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Are there extra charges for Godstow?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
